Robert Aickman, The Model

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Are those the Tartarus books? I was quite close to getting them once, but then some reviewers who complained of poor and small type put me off. That would seem to be a problem with latter Tartarus volumes, and the reason I didn't get any Oliver Onions Stuff either. I must say I have no complaints about the ones I do have (Arthur Machen, Walter de la Mare, LP Hartley), and my eyesight leaves a lot to be desired.
